Winter resorts and hotels located near winter sports hot spots need to constantly promote themselves because they're usually in direct competition with other resorts and hotels. If your resort is a popular destination for winter sports enthusiasts, you'll need to stand out from the crowd to capture the lion's share of the market. You may already have special discounts for ski lifts, discount coupons, and other standard marketing tools, but so does every other resort. Offering free gifts such as wholesale hats to each of your guests is a great way to stand out from the crowd.
Wholesale Hats, Gloves and Mittens As Gifts
Hats Caps
Giving a gift to your guests is only as successful as the quality of the gift you choose. Typical marketing standbys like imprinted pens or plastic water bottles won't make an impression, but wholesale caps can capture your guests' attention in style. Almost everyone can remember losing a hat or gloves when they've gone skiing, snowboarding, or sled riding. If you order wholesale caps that are stylish and warm, you can offer each guest a lovely and practical gift they're sure to use during their stay and long after they return home. Why? Because they may not be skiing when they get home, but winter weather can linger for months.
When your guests check-in, you can offer them their choice of hats from a collection that includes a variety of colors to match almost any winter coat or ski jacket. If you prefer to put gifts in the guest rooms, you may want to order matching scarves or mittens when you order your wholesale hats. When guests check-in, a lovely scarf and hat will be one of the first things they see in their room.
Winter hats are also a great gift to include with certain "package weekends." For these, consider upgrading to more expensive wholesale caps or scarves so that your gift is distinctive. Perhaps you can give solid color hats as regular guest gifts, but present a set that includes cross stitched mittens and wholesale caps to anyone who books a special package at your resort.
Choosing The Right Wholesale Hats For Your Resort
There are several different styles of wholesale caps available through wholesale distributors. Take the time to explore your options and choose hats, gloves, mittens or scarves that reflect the style and mood of your winter resort.
• Knit earflap hats are especially popular with young adults and teens. These colorful wholesale hats cover the head and ears and feature colorful tassels.
• If you're looking for a more traditional style, beanies have been around for years, although they used to be called simply "knit caps." Today you can find beanies featuring interesting patterns and bold, bright colors.
• Scarves are often the one accessory guests forget to pack, but they're great for keeping the wind off your face and neck. Consider a selection of soft, knit scarves as well when you order your wholesale hats.
• Don't forget to order children's wholesale caps as well. Kids begin skiing and snowboarding at younger ages every year. Frazzled parents will love having a back-up set of hat and gloves for the children.
As an alternative to giving away wholesale hats and gloves, consider keeping a good supply of them in your resort's gift shop. You'll be amazed by how quickly your wholesale hats will fly off the shelves if you stock several styles and colors to suit every taste.
